The Face Of Diversity

What is the meaning of diversity?

I’ll tell you it doesn’t decide your destiny

It means to be different and unique

It means to not make critiques

It means not to be categorized

It means freedom and civil rights

And Chloe’s Face of Eternity: “It symbolises that even though eternity has no end it does have a beginning

And Ella’s The face of capitalism : My art represents the face of capitalism. the overall image is of money (plenty of it).
